If you don't have port forwarding in your Linux kernel that would be a
problem..however. Ettercap creates a MITM attack.

hahaha  YES you can!!  ;)

http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/

This is a great sniffing tool.  If you don't have admin 
rights to setup mirroring on the switch; use ettercap.  

Have fun!

Now i know people say you "cant" sniff on a switch and I 
know about ARP
poisoning and MAC flooding. But there has to be another 
way. I have heard
too many stories about "he sniffed my AIM conversation on a 
Cisco switch"
(an example is in the most recent version of 2600). Does 
anyone know of any
technique how to do this? Can you ARP poison a switch?
